Cup contender

In what universe is Perrault worth a 1st and other assets. You’re gonna get a 2nd or maybe a bottom pair D

Not even close on either trade.

John Tavares can only be signed for 7 years, Trouba is going to get far more then $4 million per or he's going elsewhere in 2 years. Not even close for Erik Karlsson and Byfuglien isn't leaving Winnipeg for crap hole Ottawa any ways.

there are so many things wrong with that Karlsson trade.
1) You can't sign a free agent just to trade him, that would completely screw the team going forward. Winnipeg is only just becoming a place where good players will want to play. You would completely undo that if players you'd like to sign would have to fear being traded away to somewhere they don't want to be.
2) Byfuglien is 33, and Statsny is 32. Buff probably has at most 2 seasons left of still being Big Buff. The sens would never in a million years trade EK for players on the wrong side of 30 if we are about to rebuild
3) the sens won't give away our only serious RHD prospect right as we are going to rebuild. He is currently all we have. Even if we draft Boqvist at 4th, we're still in a bad spot at RD.
4) even if we just totally ignore all of that, this trade is still bad, because the value isn't even close to Karlsson.

Do better my dude.
